Try this(untested):

# Exim filter
if $h_Resent-From: contains "ebian-user" or
	    $h_Cc: contains "ebian-user" or
	    $h_To: contains "ebian-user"
then save $home/Mail/debian-user
elif $h_Resent-From: contains "debian" or
	      $h_Cc: contains "debian" or
	      $h_To: contains "debian"
then save $home/Mail/debian
endif

Note that the 'suggested' header to filter on is X-Mailing-List.
